<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>With each year that I have my locs, I wish I had gotten locked up sooner. I would go on and on about them, but I'll keep it simple and do a list of why I love my locks.</p>

<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>With each year that I have my locs, I wish I had gotten locked up sooner. I would go on and on about them, but I'll keep it simple and do a list of why I love my locks.</p>
<p>1. I wake up and they are done.</p>
<p>2. I can shower and shampoo using the same bar soap (handmade all natural soap) and my hair is done.</p>
<p>3. If I want to I can roller set my hair. Braids it and take it aloose and that's a new style. Wear it in updos and so much more.</p>
<p>4. I don't have to worry about sweating it out or getting it wet.</p>
<p>5. I no longer need a comb, brush, or lots of products to untangle it.</p>
<p>6. It grows and maintains its growth.</p>
<p>7. It all my hair.</p>
<p>8. It feels good just playing in them. Running my hands through them easy.</p>
<p>9. They move with my head which I find pretty cool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am MiMi Fleming and I have Sisterlocks. I love them so much that I became a Certified Sisterlocks(TM) Consultant. If you are in the Triad area of North Carolina or don't mind a little road trip, then I would be honored to introduce you to Sisterlocks. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>A few times I've read blogs about people not getting comments and how they feel nobody supports them.

<p>A few times I've read blogs about people not getting comments and how they feel nobody supports them. Or that AfroMyNaturalHairIsHotFireAndI'veBeenBloggingForManyYears has a clique and they comment on everything she posts. When I first saw these 'comment on my blog posts' I felt pity for the blogger. Then it sort of looks desperate, demanding, and ungrateful. So, I offer a little advice on blogging.<br/> <br/>
1. Don't start the blog just to get comments, become popular, or make money. If your heart is not in it, you will be easily discouraged when things are moving slowly.<br/>
<br/>
2. Give it time. It takes a while time to build a blog following.<br/>
<br/>
3. Show yourself. If you have a make-up blog, don't just copy/paste the make-up all the time. Show yourself in it. Do a slideshow or video with you putting on the make-up. Sharing a recipe? Have somebody snap a photo of you or you take one of somebody eating it.<br/>
<br/>
4. Ask questions or opinions! Folks love to talk, but sometimes need to be given the mic to speak up.<br/>
<br/>
5. Bring people to your blog. If you have facebook &amp; twitter and the rest of them, tell people that you have a new blog post.<br/>
<br/>
6. Don't look pitiful, ungrateful, or desperate. Always, be welcoming, humble, and helpful.</p>

I have been all over the place with websites. I have paid for website design and management which was an awful experience since I could not update the site myself. Then I tried hostgator.com which provided me with the power I wanted, but not the style. I am currently with Shoppe Pro. This company truly understands the needs of a small time business with a big heart. It is easy as 1-2-3 with so many options and perks.<br />
<br />
Please stop by my site and see if you agree that Shoppe Pro offers a beautiful, easy, affordable shop.<br />

People make resolutions for the new year. I never do. Instead I just try to do a little better each day. I had in mind what I wanted to do and I just started doing it. I wanted to build my own website and I have. I wanted this month to be better than last month and it already is.<br />
<br />
How do I do it? I continue to work towards my dreams each day, everyday.<br />
<br />
Never give up and give it your all!

Hello,<br />
Here are just a few photos of customers wearing Tomoka's Twists hair accessories and earrings. I enjoy getting the pictures because it is one way that I gauge my success. Some clients will blog about products they adore and share details such as how it works, customer service, and why they like it. I have even…

Hello,<br />
Here are just a few photos of customers wearing Tomoka's Twists hair accessories and earrings. I enjoy getting the pictures because it is one way that I gauge my success. Some clients will blog about products they adore and share details such as how it works, customer service, and why they like it. I have even seen a blog suggest a lower price for them. Another wished for a how to video even though she wore it well, I did grant her wish. Customers will respond with an email or phone call of praise, suggestions, and questions. One thought it would be cool to have earrings. I did too and taught myself how to make earrings and bracelets to match the hair accessories. I once asked a customer if there was a color that she would like to have, silver was her answer. To this day the silver one has been my best seller.<br />
<br />
In summary ask your clients what would they like and how you can serve them better. Customers have ideas and can work as your design team. Remember to reward the client for great advice, they will appreciate it.<br />
<br />
Take care,<br />
Carmen
